Climate Interactive is attending the UNFCCC’s seventeenth Conference of the Parties (COP17). Travis Franck will be meeting with negotiators and partners (old and new) for the first week of the conference. On Thursday, 1 Dec 2011, Travis will hold a side event at the Bellona Foundation side event room. Details: Title: Using Interactive Computer Simulations […]

In transforming our world to reduce greenhouse gas emissions there’s room for the creativity of all of us. In our simulation modeling of the transition to a low-carbon economy, we find plenty of policies and actions with huge potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon prices, investment in renewable energy, and investment in a new energy infrastructure […]

We have just released an updated version of the C-ROADS-CP simulation for policy makers. Check out the video above to learn about these latest updates, and visit our videos page to see previous release information. Please contact us if you would like to receive your own copy of the simulation.

Check out the article below, which uses C-Learn, our free online version of C-ROADS, to investigate climate outcomes. We’re currently working on a new version of C-Learn that we’ll soon release, but you can test out the current version here. For more detail on the research, read the article below, or view the original here. […]

For those of you at COP16 in Cancun, there will be a side event to discuss the UNEP Emissions Gap Report. Beth Sawin, Climate Interactive co-Director and report contributor, will participate in the discussion. Emissions Gap Side Event, COP16 Where: Mexican Pavillion in Cancun Messe When: Thursday 2 Dec, 18:30-20:30

We’ve written earlier about Climate Interactive’s participation in a series of workshops convened by UNEP and the European Climate Foundation, focused on a scientific assessment of the greenhouse gas emission pledges associated with the Copenhagen Accord relative to climate goals. In the months since the last workshop, participants, including CI’s Beth Sawin, have been drafting […]

We’re excited about the Climate CoLab’s new interactive application and the associated contest. Tom Malone, Rob Laubacher, Josh Introne and team have done a great job. The model behind the site incorporates the open source version of C-ROADS, so their use of the sim realizes a dream we’ve had here at Climate Interactive for a […]

If you happen to be in Bonn for the UNFCCC session this week please stop by 350.org’s side event, which will include an interactive session using C-ROADS to explore pathways toward 350 ppm.﻿﻿ Side-Event: An equitable pathway toward 350 ppm CO2 Friday 4 June, 19.45-21.45 Wind Room Description: An equitable pathway toward 350 ppm CO2, […]

Judging from the well-attended side-event on the first day of last week’s UNFCCC session there appears to be growing momentum to assess the question: is it adding up? Is the collective benefit of the pledges enough to deliver our goals for protecting the climate? Panelists representing five groups of analysts and modelers (including Climate Interactive) […]

Writing from the UN climate negotiations in Bonn Germany, where the AOSIS island nations and EU recently proposed a formal “adding up” of the mitigation pledges to the UNFCCC. A recent text in the AWG-KP group included, “The AWG-KP requested the secretariat… prepare an analysis of the pledges for emissions reduction provided by Annex 1 […]
